Category Exclusivity
One business per category per issue. No direct competitors in your placement.
Launching first in select NH Seacoast communities.
Own Your Category in 10,000 Local Addresses
Local LinkUp combines a bold 9x12 neighborhood mailer with digital visibility, social promotion, email exposure, and a $1,000 community giveaway — with only one business accepted per category in each territory.
Designed for local businesses that want more than a one-time ad. Local LinkUp helps you stay visible across print, web, email, and social.
Founding advertiser pricing starting at $425 is available for the first Seacoast issue.
After you apply, we’ll confirm category availability, territory fit, and current issue pricing.
Not just another mailer
Most local advertising asks people to notice you in crowded places — crowded social feeds, crowded search results, crowded inboxes, and crowded coupon books.
LocalLinkUp is different.
You get:
- One category per issue — no direct competitors beside you.
- A large 9x12 format — built to stand out in the daily mail.
- 10,000 address local density — focused by territory, not scattered randomly.
- Digital follow-through — QR routing to the territory directory.
- Community engagement — a $1,000 giveaway designed to encourage people to scan, register, and keep the card.
Why residents keep the card
Every issue connects to a $1,000 local giveaway. Residents scan the QR code, register their card, and keep the physical mailer because the winner must present it to claim the prize.
That gives your ad more than a moment.
It gives it a reason to stay on the counter.

Frequently asked questions
What does category exclusivity mean?
Category exclusivity means we select only one business per category in each issue within a territory. For example, one restaurant type (pizza, italian, fine dining, sub shop, etc.), one salon type (medspa, hair salon, etc.), one fitness studio, and so on. We do not place direct competitors side by side. Once a category is secured for an issue, it closes for that cycle.
What happens when I secure my category?
Once a category is secured for an issue, it closes for that cycle. When you choose a multi-issue commitment, your category remains reserved for the agreed-upon term.
How long does representation last?
Representation applies per issue. Many businesses choose multi-issue commitments to maintain consistent visibility and category positioning. Once a category is secured for an issue, it is not reopened during that cycle.
Are multi-issue commitments available?
Yes. Multi-issue commitments are available for businesses that want consistent category positioning within their territory. Ongoing presence reinforces visibility and strengthens recognition over time.
How many addresses does each issue reach?
Each LocalLinkUp issue is distributed to every address in the selected mailing routes, which averages 10,000 addresses within the defined mailing region. Territories are selected intentionally to create strong local density rather than broad, unfocused distribution.
How does the print and digital integration work?
Each placement includes a QR code that routes to the territory directory on GetLocalLinks.com. Consumers can explore participating businesses, and registered recipients enter our monthly $1,000 drawing through that same digital pathway. This allows print distribution to connect directly to an ongoing digital presence.
Who funds the $1,000 drawing?
LocalLinkUp funds the $1,000 drawing. The purpose of the drawing is to encourage card retention, registration, and ongoing engagement within each territory. Winners must present their physical card to claim their prize.
How is engagement measured?
QR routing allows us to track directory visits and registrations tied to each territory. While LocalLinkUp is designed to create broad local visibility rather than single-click attribution, the integrated digital layer provides measurable engagement signals beyond print alone.
Does direct mail still work?
Direct mail still works when it is visible, targeted, and connected to a reason for action. Local LinkUp uses a large 9x12 format, category exclusivity, QR routing, and a $1,000 community drawing to make the piece more noticeable, measurable, and worth keeping.
USPS is actively promoting direct mail growth incentives for Marketing Mail and saturation/high-density mail in 2026, which supports that physical mail is still a serious marketing channel, not an abandoned one.
Why not just focus on digital advertising?
Digital advertising can be effective, but it often places businesses in crowded, competitive spaces. LocalLinkUp provides defined physical presence within a territory and connects it to digital routing. The structure reduces clutter while maintaining online accessibility.
How is LocalLinkUp different from other mailers?
Most mailers stack multiple businesses from the same category in a single issue. LocalLinkUp selects one business per category, creating clarity for consumers and eliminating direct competition within the same placement.
Why is the investment higher than some competitors?
LocalLinkUp limits category competition, distributes at scale within a defined territory, integrates digital routing, and funds a $1,000 community drawing. The model is structured around exclusivity and engagement rather than volume-based ad stacking.
Do you help with ad design?
Yes. Professional design support is included to ensure each placement aligns with brand standards and maintains visual consistency across the issue.
How quickly will I hear back after applying?
Applications are reviewed promptly. You can expect a response within 1-2 business days.
